Asthma? Hormones for life?

Asthma patients do not necessarily need to take hormones for life.

Although hormones are commonly used to treat asthma, the need for long-term use of hormones depends on the patient's condition and doctor's advice. For mild asthma patients, short-acting hormones may only be needed to relieve symptoms during asthma attacks. For moderate or severe asthma patients, long-term use of hormones may be needed to control the disease and reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.

Note that long-term use of hormones also has some side effects, such as decreased immunity and osteoporosis. Therefore, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the patient's condition and physical condition, including the type, dosage and duration of use.
